Going the Distance — the Best Gifts for the Long-Range Shooter

Going the Distance — the Best Gifts for the Long-Range Shooter

I can hear “It’s the most wonderful time of year …” playing on repeat in the back of my mind as I scan through magazines and online stores while I start piecing together my Christmas wish list. As I’ve gotten older I’ve found that it gets harder and harder to not only buy gifts for the ones I know and love but also create a Christmas list for me to give to them.   I mean I usually have to create a roadmap to the things that I like complete with links, pictures, and very specific instructions about color options and features, which pretty much sucks the fun out right out of it.

The Bipods with the Moves: Bringing the Swagger

Bipods are probably the most underutilized piece of helpful shooting gear, a tool that should be in your toolbox. But like all tools, you need to pick the appropriate one for the job.

Fortunately, that tool now exists.

The Perfect Entry Level Optic: Burris XTR II 4-20x50mm

The Perfect Entry Level Optic: Burris XTR II 4-20x50mm

When the cost of a precision rifle can reach into the thousands of dollars it tends to be a little less practical, and unnecessary, to spend as much on the scope as you spent on the rifle. Starting out though, when you’re on a budget, finding a suitable optic for precision rifle competition that won’t break the bank isn’t easy. However, Burris is making the search easier with their XTR II line of scopes that are tailor-made for the beginning shooter at a price that some will find very easy to swallow.

Intro to Precision Rifle Series — Mindset, Equipment & Skills
